RE: How far can U2 scale?
In reply to what Steve wrote re: app level problems with scability: In a way you're right, in that an app written for small scale systems cannot easily be scaled upward to infinity without having serious bottleneck issues. No matter what tool (read language/RAD/whatever) is used, if the design has built in toe-jammers, it simply aint gonna work. However, if the designers knew upfront what scale to aim at, it's easy. Keys are prefixed with some kind of sub-structure label to break-down the scale to managable levels, eg branch, warehouse, or if requiring specifically numeric, ranges of number are set for each sub-structure, eg 100,000 - 200,000 for New Jersey, with scalability built in with the same number range for each million increase, eg 1,100,000 - 1,200,000, 2,100,000 - 2,200,000, etc (many ways to skin said cat) The thing about bad design is that its faults exponentially increase by number of users. Bigger hardware doesn't help. Developers with tunnel vision don't help. Most of all, patch jobs don't help.

This goes for all products including the DBMS software we use. Students should learn that this is the way things are supposed to work rather than trying to prove how smart they are by coming up with workarounds. In the long run a workaround costs money and is more difficult to maintain in the future. When problems aren't fixed they cost ALL users of the product time and money, and prompts discussions of migration, which drives up costs for everyone and drives our market into the ground even further.

RE: Timestamp
Bill H. wrote on 04/28/2004 12:27:30 AM: SYSTEM(19) on D3: Returns a unique item-id consisting of the current system date in internal format, followed immediately by the current system time in seconds. If more than one item-id is generated in a second, an alpha character is appended to the item-id. The best way to simulate this - on UniData, UniVerse, or indeed on D3 - is to roll your own solution that doesn't involve contention. When I was working on a Sequoia Pick system we used SYSTEM(19) rather extensively. It was an easy way for multiple processes to generate unique keys to a file. We thought it was a great way to avoid the bottleneck created by a next key record in a control file. We knew that having multiple processes banging against a single locked record was a bottleneck and we pounced upon this wonderful thing called SYSTEM(19). What a wonderful way to avoid bottlenecks. I was young - well younger - then, and didn't understand the way UNIX worked. There was just this magical facility available, so it was used with abandon. It seemed to be the answer to our problems. Then we saw that the system started crawling and, after much work, came to the conclusion that the processes using SYSTEM(19) were the cause. That's when I started learning UNIX terms like semaphore. In other words, when you're guaranteeing uniqueness system-wide, you're going to have to bind on something. That was lesson #1. Lesson 2 reared its ugly head when we were suddenly missing records during a batch update process. After tearing the application apart, and scrutinizing everything including the IDs of the records in a transaction file, we finally discovered that we were over-writing records. As Bill H. mentioned, the date and time was suffixed with a single character. If I recall correctly, they started with the letter A, then incrimented from there. I think when they got to Z they started with numerals. They might have also included some non-alpha-numeric characters. But with 1200 users on a 16-CPU system, there were times when we used all of the available characters in a second, and it started back at the beginning. We were just blindly writing records with SYSTEM(19) as the key, so earlier records within a second were being overwritten by later records within the same second. Clearly, SYSTEM(19) wasn't the best approach. Since we didn't care about the contents of the ID - only system-wide uniqueness - we started using something like this: date*time*port*seqno where date and time represented the beginning of the current process and seqno was a number incremented within the program. This was guaranteed to be unique system-wide. To our great surprise and pleasure, performance also went through the roof, since there was no longer any chance for a bottleneck. So, as a long answer to Eugene's short question - with some old codger reminiscence mixed in - no, SYSTEM(19) isn't available on UniData. Rejoice!

Re: VOC corruption
I can relay one UV customer's experience. After months of sporadic file corruption episodes, they finally had their hardware folks come out and check over the system (one of the first things our support group had suggested, of course). They had memory boards seated in improper slots. Once they correctly re-seated the memory boards - all file corruption issues ceased. Even though the hardware diagnostic programs for this platform reported no errors - it is always prudent to check hardware. Anything that interrupts a clean movement of a block of data from memory to the physical disk platters could result in database file corruption.

It should be standard URL encoding, which works as follows: Spaces are converted to + Characters below 0x20 or above 0x7F, along with the characters %+=:# are converted to a % followed by their hexadecimal equivalent [ OCONV(SEQ(VAR),'MX') ] Note that spaces are not converted to a +, then the + converted to %2B.

ICONV/OCONV for unix internal timestamp (secs past 00:00 01/01/1970)
unix generally keeps track of time as number of seconds past midnight GMT, Jan 1, 1970. Is there a conversion code to convert that to from external date time?

Re: Flushing memory
Steven R. Shourds wrote: I am currently evaluating different platforms and have been lurking here for a bit. Very lively and informative! We currently use D3 on Windows. I had to integrate SYNC from Sysinternals to flush memory since Windows (or D3) does not seem do it right. We've had problems in the past where customers could loose hours worth of data if there was a system halt! So, would I have to do the same thing with Unidata or did Unidata do it right and provide for safe delivery of the data to the harddrive and then if so is it configurable? Thanks, Steve I can't speak for Unidata or Windows, but UniVerse on unix handles syncs correctly in the default configuration. This is the default setting from the uvconfig file along with comments: # UVSYNC - This boolean if set will change the # behavior of UniVerse calling the UNIX sync() # call on exit the environment. A non-zero value # will mean UniVerse will do a UNIX sync() if a job # leading UniVerse process exits. This value should # only be modified if you know exactly what you are # doing.

RE: Timestamp
All, How about the following (86400 * DATE()) + TIME()):.:GETPID()?. You could use common to check that (86400 * DATE()) + TIME()) is unique within the process, and should probably check that the date has not changed between calling DATE and TIME.

Check to see if the Microsoft Telnet service is running. If so, stop the service and set its start property to disable or manual.

Also, is there the equivilent of WIN.PCRUN. I can always install wintegrate but I may not want to rock the boat. Thanks in advance.

RE: ICONV/OCONV for unix internal timestamp (secs past 00:00 01/01/1970)
Chuck, you need to worry about time zone when rendering the unix epoch time as it is UTC (aka GMT) based. A simple conversion of the unix epoch time to U2 date/time will be incorrect unless you are in Britain in the winter - and who'd be there then ;-) Have a look at http://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?DateUtility . DateUtility(parseEpochTime,intTimeStamp) will return U2 Date Time based on the local machine time zone. This function could be used as a conversion by wrapping it and globally cataloguing it as $ParseEpochTime OCONV(intTimeStamp,'UParseEpochTime') Cheers, Stuart -Original Message- Behalf Of Stevenson, Charles unix generally keeps track of time as number of seconds past midnight GMT, Jan 1, 1970. Is there a conversion code to convert that to from external date time? If not, have you already written a custom conversion care to share? (I am NOT asking how to roll my own. I just don't want to do so if someone already has it, including figuring out flexability in output format.)

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stuart Boydell Have a look at http://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?DateUtility . DateUtility(parseEpochTime,intTimeStamp) will return U2 Date Time based on the local machine time zone. Now that's rich. There's a lot there. Looks like maybe good to piggyback on it. thanks, cds -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
RE: ICONV/OCONV for unix internal timestamp (secspast00:0001/01/1970)
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin King Why not write a user conversion code that does this calculation as a Uname conversion? That's what I was asking, if anyone already did it. I'd prefer it to be flexible enough to allow various oconv formats and to iconv various strings. For example, what if you just have date don't care about time, etc. Plus it ought to have the property analogous to that of D conversions where: ICONV( OCONV( idate, 'D' ), 'D' ) = idate (What's the set theory word for that property, where each member of a set can be transformed to a corresponding member of another set, and the inverse transformation will always get you back to your starting point? Reflexive? That doesn't sound right. It's late, gimme a break.) -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
RE: UniVerse Personal Edition Telnet Service
Thanks for your help. Cool product... But confirmed my fear. Nothing had port 23. As I was working on this, I also found a slew of other serious problems regarding my network config... IE. Spooler not functioning, network browsing not functioning, mapped drives not functioning, other port assignments failing... Could it be time to backup, fdisk, and start over? Hmm I am thinking yes. (oh the pain of a re-load...)

My question is... How do I find out what is running in conflict or what has grabbed port 23? Go to www.sysinternals.com and download tcpview.exe. This tool will show you in real(ish) time what netstat shows you whenever you run it, except it also shows the name of the executable associated with each connection. Cheers, Ken PS. Sorry Robert, I couldn't think of a CALLC that would help Glenn on this! ;^) -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
